How to force ITM agents to specific network adapters when using HACMP

When you install ITM agents on a HACMP solution you need to make sure that the OS agents are running on both Physical nodes and the application agents are running on the active one. The application agent has to be installed on the shared volume group so when a takeover happens it moves with the application. The OS agents to the local filesystem on the physical nodes this way you have both nodes ( Active/Passive ) monitored.

After installation you have to modify the monitoring agent’s .ini file that is located in the [itmroot]/config directory. For example if you try to configure the Unix OS Agent you need to modify the ux.ini.

Set/Modify the following values:

KDEB_INTERFACELIST=!10.10.10.1 This instructs the product to bind to ONLY the 10.10.10.1 interface
attached to the system and publish IP address 10.10.10.1 for the Tivoli service.

CTIRA_HOSTNAME=[hostname]
CTIRA_SYSTEM_NAME=[hostname]

Repeat this step for all agents in scope then restart the agents and after a while they should show up on the TEPS Console under the correct hostname.
